About Joyce:
Joyce Brinkman, Indiana Poet Laureate 2002-2008, believes in poetry as public art. She creates public poetry projects involving her poetry and the poetry of others.
Collaborations with visual artists using her poetry for permanent installations include her words in a twenty-five-foot stained glass window by British glass artist Martin Donlin at the Indianapolis International Airport, in lighted glass by Arlon Bayliss at the Indianapolis-Marion County Central Library, and on a wall with local El Salvadoran artists in the town square of Quezaltepeque, El Salvador. Non-collaborative public literary art includes two of her poems featuring John Wooden in two places in Martinsville, Indiana, a haiku on a sculpture of the Earth in Shelbyville, Indiana, and poems “First Impression” and “Moon Rising” in windows at Circle Center Mall in Indianapolis.
She serves as executive director of Brick Street Poetry, a nonprofit devoted to providing opportunities to connect through poetry.
